MY 9-PATCH QUILT IS FINISHED

Hello Everyone!

 

I meant to post this 2 days ago, but I got so busy that

I completely forgot until now. I finished my

quilt on January 10th. The only thing left to

do is to make a quilt label and as of yet

I do not know what or how I want to make

that, or if I want to buy labels?

 

My quilt had to be washed 3 times to get those

age spots out. And each time I pre-treated them

very heavily. With each washing my muslin

got brighter and brighter. I am so happy with

how the quilt has turned out! I hope you like it

also.

 

Here is my finished 9-patch quilt. Basically it has

taken me about 19 days to hand quilt this twin quilt.

Not bad, I say.

Here, I show one side of the borders that is quilted

already. I had to hand quilt fans in each of the 4

corners of the quilt, so I hope you can see it.

2 sides of the quilt has green

borders and the other 2 sides only have the cream

borders. I have not placed the quilt on my bed yet

to see which way those green borders are suppose

to lay, but I think they were added for length.

 

A better close up t see one of the fans.

 

All 4 borders are squared up with excess batting

and backing cut off.

 

I cut fabric 4.5 inches wide and folded in one side

towards the middle, but further towards the top. Then

I folded the other side in, making the size I wanted.

After all was folded and ironed, I began to machine

stitch to the back side of the quilt.

 

Here I was hand quilting the binding. This is the

fasting part of making a quilt. What I do is pin at

least 2 sides of the binding to the quilt. Then I start

hand stitching it closed on the front side.

 

Again, here is the quilt finished!

I will be hand quilting another quilt in a few more

weeks from now. I got some projects that need

finishing!

 

Thank you for visiting me!
